Welcome to Gluten-Free Wednesdays (GFW), the weekly blog carnival that I co-host with my friends Linda of The Gluten-Free Homemaker and Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. If you’re a reader, you’ll find lots of gluten-free eating ideas—recipes, menu plans, reviews (cookbooks, products, restaurants), and much more. If you’re a fellow blogger, link up your gluten-free eating idea posts and they’ll appear on all three of our blogs via the linky at the bottom of this post.

Well, it’s August now and I don’t know about you, but this month promises to be a very busy one for me. It’s almost like I’m trying to cram the last and very best bits into this last full month of summer. Yes, I’m definitely starting to feel that wind down of summer with several cooler days and cooler nights (both of which are unusual for us in Virginia at this time of year). Plus, the sun is definitely going down earlier each day. Have you noticed?

My Highlights from gfe and All Gluten-Free Desserts

~ On gfe:

Peach Upside Down Cake ~ Why stick with pineapple for an upside down cake when you have one of the stars of the summer season? Fresh, juicy peaches! This cake’s a delicious beauty that you’ll love serving your family and friends. The recipe comes from my buddy Steve who some of you might remember from his earlier blog, Gluten-Free Steve.

~ On All Gluten-Free Desserts:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bundt Cake from Sarah Bakes Gluten-Free Treats ~ Go ahead and get excited if you’re one of the many who thinks that chocolate and peanut butter are a heavenly combination! Take a look at Sarah’s super sweet take on this combination and you’ll get even more excited! Oh, and her recipe is gluten free and vegan.
